Five Norwegian soldiers have disappeared during an exercise in the country's northernmost region of Finnmark, which borders Russia's Murmansk region, TV2 reported, citing police.
“We are searching for five people, divided into two groups. One version of the soldiers' disappearance is that the soldiers misunderstood the meeting time or stayed longer than planned. Another is that someone may have been injured or got lost“, said Haugland Hansen, head of the task force.
He added that initially 10 soldiers were missing, five of whom were found during the search operation.
